Stealing Your Heart Chapter 345

“I won’t bring anybody with me.” Su Zhan dared not risk their lives.

Liu Feifei responded with a laugh, sounding pleased. Then, she gave him an address and emphasized again, “You have to come alone and I’m not joking with you here. If you bring anyone with you, I won’t hesitate to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.”

“I’ve already promised you I wouldn’t bring anyone with me. If you dare to hurt them, I wouldn’t go easy on you either!”

With that, he hung up on her and set off to the address given by her.

Soon, he arrived at the beach. He received a message from Liu Feifei when he alighted his car: Find yourself a boat and sail toward southwest.

He kept away his phone and began searching for an available boat. When he spotted some fishermen who just returned from a fishing expedition, he approached them. “Can you guys take me to the sea?”

He offered all the cash in his wallet to one fisherman who was mooring his boat to the pier.

The fisherman was a tanned man in his fifties with a scrawny body. Looking at the huge stack of cash Su Zhan offered him, he wondered exactly how much money that would be. As it was not Su Zhan’s habit to carry much cash with him, the stack of cash he was holding only amounted to around two thousand.

“Where do you want to go?” the fisherman queried. He would have to pass if Su Zhan wanted to go as far as to the deep sea.

“Somewhere in the southwest direction,” Su Zhan answered.

The fisherman pondered it over. The sea in the southwest region was near to the mountains, it was rather remote as he and his fellow fishermen seldom ventured there. “What business do you have there?”

No houses or even shelters were built there.

Su Zhan knew the fisherman had his reservations due to safety issues, but he could not tell him the truth. Hence, he had no choice but to come up with an excuse, hoping it could convince him. “I’m going there to look for my friend who hasn’t been back after sailing in that direction. I need to check on him.”

After some contemplation, the fisherman took his cash and agreed, “Fine, just hop onto my boat.”

Two thousand was considered a handsome sum for the fisherman who might not be able to earn that much of money from his fishing expedition.

Su Zhan thanked him and stepped onto the slippery deck.

The fisherman flashed him a sheepish grin. That there was no need for Su Zhan to thank him because he was paid to do this.

Standing on the deck where the air was permeated with a fishy stench, Su Zhan looked into the distance at the vast ocean. He felt uneasy and restless, just like the boat that was floating on the sea.

The fisherman was very familiar with the sea. It took him a short time to steer his boat in the right direction.

After about twenty minutes, Su Zhan spotted a ship ahead of them and instructed the fisherman to steer the boat toward it.

Liu Feifei experienced a mixed feelings when she spotted him. Yet, she soon returned to her emotionless state. There was no turning back for her at this stage.

She couldn’t accept how pathetic her life had ended up to be. While she could only live a lonesome life miserably in the future, Su Zhan would go on to marry another woman and build a happy family with her.

No, that was not what she would like.

She would rather die if she could not get what she wanted in life. However, she had to make sure those who had bullied her before suffered their retribution.

Su Zhan saw her too. “Are you referring to that ship over there?” the fisherman asked.

Su Zhan nodded in response.

The fisherman then steered the boat toward the ship and mounted a wooden plank to connect the two. “Be careful!” he urged.

Su Zhan mumbled a response before stepping on the plank without hesitation.

The wooden plank was narrow and flimsy as it started to waver when he landed his feet on it. Meanwhile, the fisherman tried to hold it still at the side of his boat.
